The Garngad’s Lisbon Lion, Stevie Chalmers
The motion
That the Parliament notes with sadness the death of Celtic legend and Garngad/Royston boy, Stevie Chalmers; acknowledges that Stevie’s death comes just days after that of his fellow Lisbon Lion, Billy McNeil; acknowledges the incredible achievement of that Celtic team in 1967 in becoming the first from the British Isles to win the European Cup; commends residents who have suggested that one way of marking Stevie’s sporting achievements and legacy in the community would be to install a commemorative plaque at an appropriate location; encourages Celtic and Glasgow City Council to consider such a step, and believes that this would be a fitting memorial to a man from the Garngad who will continue to inspire people from across the community to participate in sport.
